As others have said, that's Liv Kristine. She got nominated for a Grammy Award for this performance! She was in Theatre of Tragedy back in the 90's and they were of the first for "Beauty and the Beast" style vocal duets. Was with Leave's Eyes after that, and now she's a folk metal band named Midnattsol with her sister Carmen.

Liv Kristine. That's the name of the female singer. She used to be, a very long time ago, the singer of Theater of Tragedy, which was the band who started this style, the so called "Beauty and the Beast", inspired obviously on the Phantom of the Opera: a very distorted male vocalist and an angelic voiced female vocalist. Ironically, it is when Kristine joined the band(she wasn't a founding member) that they start it, with an album where the male vocalist actually uses no distortion. The album's name is "Aegis", and it is really good, worthy of listening it all the songs in order. That was back in...1998, if my memory doesn't fail me...

Cradle has been doing this style longer though. Their first album, Principle of Evil Made Flesh, was released in '94 and featured Andrea Meyer doing the beauty vocals. To my recollection no other extreme metal band had done this before but it's been in music for ages and it can't be cited as starting this concept if it's been a part of music for literally eons. You can say that in this genre, second wave black metal, Cradle did bring it to a larger audience and they were the first British black metal band historically. They formed in 1991, well before extreme metal was as commercially viable as it is now. I think people forget how old this band actually is. This song itself is from their 2004 album, Nymphetamine, which they received a Grammy nomination for this video. It's 17 years old this year. The band is 30 years old now and Dani still sounds excellent live. I've seen them live 4 times now and they're excellent. He sounds unreal live. His highs are almost ear shattering and the lows are just as intense. I know that sometime in 2014 he started going to an opera coach to gain more control of his whistle ranges and to preserve his voice better because in the beginning he was just winging it and since he has a unique style there's not a lot of options for coaches in this style especially since death metal vocals weren't recognized as a style until the 90s when he started around the same time as the band Death who just developed the recording technique for recording death metal in a better production quality value so that it didn't just sound like mud. This is why early black metal is referred to as potato metal because the production quality is terrible. That changed when Chuck developed the techniques used to record extreme metal. So if you listen to the demos Cradle did in 91 and onward until their first release in 94 the sounds are vastly different. From 94 onwards the production quality has gotten better over time.

Cradle takes a bit to get into, but, they are pretty good at what they do.

“This is kind of spooky” I got into the band at maybe 13-14 and I thank my lucky stars that this was the video I caught, because this is tame for them, they can get very creepy and outright into slasher film territory with the music videos, but they are really really good. And I also have never found (in my very limited very tone deaf journey) anyone who growls like Dani does, incredible growlers out there, no one like him yet.

Your growl went into Grover mode, LOL. reminded me of the voice I use when reading books to my kids.

"Cookie Monster" is very accurate. People call them cookie monster vocals anyways. The Blonde girl is Liv Kristine. She is actually from another band called Leaves Eyes. Cradle usually has a female vocalist in the band but at the time of this record Sarah Jezebel Diva was experimenting with her own solo project. So they had their friend Liv cover for her and in the video. The original "Nymphetamine" song features a 4 min extension with Sarah singing instead of Liv.

Love this song

Not a huge fan of them, but I never get sick of this song.

Older tracks by Cradle of Filth like Queen of Winter Throned features Dani singing entire verses at that super high register. Try listening to it and see what you think.

I grow up hearing cradle of filth, Children of bodom etc.. My childhood my memories😍😍😍

Awesome video. I would enjoy your take on In This Moment - Next Life.

Dani's vocals in the "Principle of Evil made flesh" made it the best Cradle of Filth's album. Even nowadays is a Classic !

When I first heard cradle I though there were separate guys doing growly and screechy voices. Seeing him do that live is pretty impressive.

First, great reaction and professional input, just got to love all thsi. About that high pitch scream, Dani does it ALOT in their early records. I suppose it resonates well with the ideas taken from vampire tales / legends as the lyrics are. Another band, who does this high pitch thing is Hecate Entrhoned. Tehy were, back in the days, the "rival" band for CoF, but never succeeded as Cradle did. Great band anyway and they too, released a new album few years back. Check them out, just for reference for some really high pitch singing (cookie monster style OFC). Thanks for this awesome content!!

Hecate wasn't a rival of Cradle it was literally formed from a former member of Cradle of Filth after he left and took material with him. The band never went far though and that member became a promoter and later on was actually a promoter for Cradle of Filth. Cradle didn't really have rivals they spawned other bands like them when members left or were fired. For instance Dimmu wouldn't still be in existence without Galder ending Old Man's Child after hearing Cradle of Filth and then formed Dimmu inspired by Cradle of Filth. Then after Cradle fired their drummer he joined Dimmu before Dimmu was about to collapse due to lack of members. If he hadn't joined them they wouldn't have made their biggest album, Progenies of the Great Apocalypse, which "rivaled" Cradle's album Nymphetamine in 2004. Cradle has been around for a very long time in the music industry and is an unsung historically important band in metal. Another example is that Richard, current member and guitarist, was the guitar teacher for one of the members of Trivium who arguably started the jent trend in metal. In their own right Trivium has become a big name in metal. Cradle has also been the only metal band to use film studios for their music videos, the first extreme metal band to use full orchestras in their albums not just live, the only extreme metal band to have a horror movie starring, written, and produced by the members themselves, the only band to have circus performers on stage with them and on tour with them, etc etc. The lists of their accomplishments is unreal for not being recognized for anything...

PLEASE I want to hear your opinions concerning the song "Mr Gringe" from the band "Small town giants". I love your work, keep it up!

Hey Ken great channel , i love how open to different musical genre you are I try to be that way myself as well .

Another cool Cradle Of Filth song is their cover of Hallowed Be Thy Name (Originally by Maiden) any way thanks for all the videos , always entertaining and informative

Ooooo Dany can scream ,this was just a peak of iceberg😂😂😂

If you listen to the song many times Dani's voice became clearer and easy to understand on what he's saying.

The female singer here is Liv Kristine. Cradle goes through their female singers really fast, they're on their 6th or 7th right now I think. This is my favourite song despite the band not being my favourite (they're like- 2nd or 3rd)

Try to find old COF live performances of this track and see how it holds up....the newer live he seems to be phoning it in)

Seeing Cradle live is an experience. Equal parts master musicians and theatrics.

Nice Vid. Yea, another great track is Cradle of filth is "Her gost in the fog" there you can hear his vocal range. (not the official music video, the actual song is longer and the song has great ending)

I never wanted to be a microphone so bad in my life 😍

It takes a while bit once your ears start to hear more than the growl and make out the words it's awesome

Love CoF so much. Dani is amazing, and a great poet (would def watch you read his lyrics) as others have said, "Her Ghost In The Fog" would be another great track for ya.

From the cradle to enslave has always been my favorite song by cradle of filth.

I know this is like a 4 weeks old video, and so it's probably already has been said. If so, here it is again. The blonde woman is Liv Kristine (my mind escapes me now as to in which band she's singing in now as I'm writing this) but she's not in Cradle of Filth as a "full time member" but made a guest appearence for this one.

"Yours Immortally" has great examples of Dani's highest screams. Sounds like a whistle with added distortion.

I'm going to make the suggestion of Diamanda Galas' performance of her song Skotoseme on The John Stewart Show 1994. She has a six octave voice, which she uses in really, unconventional ways. So, if you're up for that challenge, I'd love to know your thoughts on how it is that she does what she does. Best, J.

I'd like to point out that the individual who LOOKS like a broad at the VERY on the sing and who SOUNDS like a broad actually IS a broad.
